Trick or Treating on Broad Street

by Ben Rothenberg on Oct 31, 2010 11:01 AM EDT

According to our reputation, Flyers fans are less likely to be candy seekers on Halloween, and are more likely to drift toward the flaming bag of poop side of the holiday.

But whether tricking or treating is your calling, an awesome costume is what defines Halloween success or failure. And on this most orange and black of holidays, it seems appropriate to have some sort of Flyers-themed inspiration.

So if you did/are going to do something Flyersy this Halloween (or a previous one), or if you just have an idea for something that would be cool, share it here. Group ideas are also encouraged, whether you're a pair of brothers going as the Watsons, or a pair of sisters going as Lauren Hart and Kate Smith.

Happy Halloween, errebody.

Prong-burgler

I live in DC, but I really wanted to wear my Pronger jersey and a Hamburgler mask and hat then carry around a puck bag that read “Property of the Blackhawks”. However, I didn’t want to spend my entire evening explaining my costume to people.

My GF and I thought about being Bristol Palin and Levy Johnson. She was gonna wear some dancing of the stars number with a baby bump and I would wear a hockey jersey that says Levy on the back and Wasilla on the front.

Damn, If you wore either and were anywhere trick or treating near McLean I would be laughing my ass off. But no one moves to McLean until they are married and boring… I tried to get my daughter to go out in a Flyers jersey but she gets too much of a hard time from the 12 yr old newbie Caps fans.

Not trick or treating this year. Not my choice, though so I’m not happy about that. But I made a Lappy punkin, theres a puck in its head and it has his odd nose-to-the-side-of-the-face thing. I’ll put a picture up if I can.

Oh, and on the Flyers website they have a whole haloween video up, it’s pretty awesome.

One year I hosted a Hallloween party as a New Jersey Devil. I had horns coming out of my hockey helmet, I turned one of my stick into a pitchfork, and wore a New Jersey Devils jersey with a painted face and fangs.

Sad fact:

There’s no Halloween over here.

I love the Lightning AND the Flyers... go ahead, preach me!

But what other excuse do you have to dress slutty without being looked down upon?!

Hah!

Pics or it didn’t happen.

My friends and I somehow managed to be the only people dressed up when we went out on Saturday.

Because Haloween is a predominantly American holiday. One of the few, if only, countries to have it. However, Mexico has day of the dead which is after Haloween, and it honors deceased loved ones. Several other, smaller tribes/civilizations around the world do similar things, only America has commercialized it into a way to make money and eat candy. I’m not complaining, though.

Part of the problem was that all the clubs had Halloween parties last week for some unknown reason.

(un)fortunately

I’m not one of those who slut up for nights out ;)

And what was your costume?

That is (un)fortunate.

Brohymn

Rockin’ to Pennywise because the Flyers just scored a goal!

Actually tonight makes 3 in a row that I’ve worn the skeleton armour. Extremely helpful for dealing with locals in Crysby jerseys.

Aww, nuts. If I had known this blog post was coming, I could have done something Flyers-themed. Instead, I was Spaceman Spiff (from Calvin and Hobbes). That’s living out a childhood dream, right there. :-p

Actually, one of my coworkers put on all of his hockey pads and wore his Crosby jersey to work on Friday. If I had known that was coming, I would have put on my goalie pads, mask, and Hextall jersey. Then I could have thrown my gloves down and chased him like he was Chris Chelios… Even without that, in retrospect, I should have booed him more throughout the day.

Lightning strikes once, Hextall strikes twice!
